Ordered: Furosemide (lasix) 80mg tablet b.i.d PO
How many capsules will the nurse need to load the medication box for a 7 day period?
14
30
7
21
The Correct Answer is A
b.i.d. means twice a day
7 days × 2 doses per day = 14 doses
If each tablet is 80 mg (as ordered), then one tablet is needed per dose
Therefore, the nurse will need 14 tablets to cover the full 7-day period.
